NadyaSun, 30 Oct 2011 04:11:20 +0000http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/?p=2645#comment-488596I was nasty at a church fundraiser "bayou Bluegrass" dinner & auction. - our GIG meets there & the teenage bandleader is GF! So ALL the gumbo options were GF, and we could have GF (or not) cornbread and RED velvet cake - yummy, but SO red!
So I was tickled to find your blog post! I can picture using pumpkin and beets w / the cranberry, pureeing all 3 in the blender ....( thinking 1/2 C of pumpkin & 1/2 C cranberry, 1/4 C beets ....I use palm shortening and coconut milk ....
Some of the grain based coffee substitutes use beet powder - one could dehydrate beets & then whiz in a coffee mill ....
Do you remember when they grated carrots to add to "winter cream" so it would be yellow in one of the "Little House" books?? Carotene! Grating beets & then soaking them in the milk overnight would probably work well - could strain out, rinse & use them some other way (I love grated. beets in salads!I was nasty at a church fundraiser “bayou Bluegrass” dinner & auction. – our GIG meets there & the teenage bandleader is GF!

I'm very happy that my blog has helped you make the transition to a gluten-free vegetarian lifestyle. I'm glad you enjoyed the flavor of these cupcakes! The color isn't what it would be with food coloring, of course. Let me know if you come up with a great natural fix for the color! :)
Hi Elaine,
Where would I find beetroot powder? I've never seen it..

These cupcakes are scrumptious - you described perfectly with "fruit infused vanilla cake." The not at all red coloring was a bit of a let down, I'm going to tinker tinker with beets ...
